This German firm manufactured a range of different products: firearms, bicycles, cars, mopeds, and motorcycles.

The production of carbon steel and the founding of Simson & Co took place in 1856. The company began producing cannon barrels and shells for them. In 1871 they built their first steam engine, and in 1896 they began to manufacture bicycles. Car production started in 1907.
